Federal Criminal Defense Lawyers Thursday, September 1, 2011 www.McNabbAssociates.com Christopher Coke Pleaded Guilty in Federal Court to Trafficking Large Quantities of Marijuana and Cocaine, as well as Approving the Stabbing of a Marijuana Dealer in New York McNabb Associates, P.C. (Federal Criminal Defense Lawyers) Submitted at 12:24 PM September 1, 2011 The New York Times on September 1, 2011 released the following in print: “Jamaican Kingpin Seized After Violent Manhunt Pleads Guilty in Manhattan By JOSEPH GOLDSTEIN Christopher Coke, a Jamaican drug trafficker whose arrest last summer came after a monthlong manhunt that left scores dead in Kingston, pleaded guilty on Wednesday to racketeering conspiracy charges in Federal District Court in Manhattan. The guilty plea emerged during an hour of quiet dialogue between Mr. Coke and a federal judge, a proceeding that stood in sharp contrast to the violence generated last year as the Jamaican authorities searched for Mr. Coke, a neighborhood don, at the request of American prosecutors. Mr. Coke, a short, balding man of 42, pleaded guilty to trafficking large quantities of marijuana and cocaine, as well as approving the stabbing of a marijuana dealer in New York. He faces a maximum sentence of 23 years in prison; the plea deal does not require him to cooperate or to testify on behalf of the government in any proceeding. “I’m pleading guilty because I am,” he told Judge Robert P. Patterson Jr. In seeking Mr. Coke’s extradition, Preet Bharara, the United States attorney in Manhattan, charged that for more than a decade Mr. Coke had controlled an international drug ring from his stronghold of Tivoli Gardens in Kingston. His organization often transported cocaine to Miami and New York, prosecutors said. A portion of the profits, they said, went to buy guns in the United States, which were shipped back to Mr. Coke, who wielded considerable political influence in Jamaica. His organization was so well armed that it “rendered the Tivoli Gardens area virtually off-limits to the local police,” prosecutors wrote in a recent court filing. The extradition and prosecution of Mr. Coke’s father, a leader of the same criminal organization, had been sought by the United States, but he died in a mysterious fire in a Jamaican prison cell in 1992. The manhunt for Christopher Coke last year led to more than 70 deaths; in some instances, the police executed unarmed men, according to relatives of victims. In the months before the Jamaican prime minister, Bruce Golding, acted on the extradition request, Jamaican leaders warned officials in the American Embassy that any move to arrest Mr. Coke could result in widespread violence or civil unrest because Mr. Coke was well fortified in Tivoli Gardens and had a measure of popular support, according to a review of secret State Department cables released by WikiLeaks. His plea deal came together in recent days after prosecutors told Mr. Coke’s lawyers that various confidential informers were prepared to testify that Mr. Coke had been involved in five murders, one of Mr. Coke’s lawyers, Stephen H. Rosen, said. One witness was prepared to testify that Mr. Coke used a chain saw to kill someone who had stolen drugs from him, according to a filing. Under the original indictment, Mr. Coke could have faced a life sentence if convicted. Mr. Coke’s lawyers described him as a well-spoken man who had never cursed in their presence; they said he had approached his new life in federal custody, where he is held under unusually restrictive conditions, with stoicism. “He’s never been in bad spirits,” one of the lawyers, Frank A. Doddato, said. “Let’s just say he’s one of the last tough guys.” Dressed in a blue smock and orange socks, Mr. Coke was one of the first in the courtroom to stand when Judge Patterson entered on Wednesday, and he was the last to sit down. During a lengthy hearing in which he was asked routine questions, like whether his lawyers had provided effective assistance and whether he had recently consumed drugs or alcohol, Mr. Coke remained perched attentively on the edge of his seat, answering each question carefully. In giving a statement of his guilt, Mr. Coke remained vague as to the specific crimes he had committed. He said that “a person gave someone narcotics on my behalf, on my instructions,” without offering any further details other than the year, 2007. Initially, Judge Patterson voiced skepticism that the vaguely described crimes to which Mr. Coke was pleading guilty met the standard for racketeering. When Mr. Coke pleaded guilty to approving the stabbing of a marijuana dealer in the Bronx in 2007, Judge Patterson asked whether the person had sustained serious injury — a component of the charge. Mr. Coke said he believed the person was stabbed in the face. “Was it something that required hospitalization or was it something he could go home and brag about?” the judge asked. Mr. Coke said that he was in Jamaica at the time and did not know the details, but that he was sure it would have required medical attention. He did not offer the name of the person who was stabbed. Asked for details about the violence, Ellen Davis, a spokeswoman for Mr. Bharara, refused to name the victim or the attacker. Mr. Coke acknowledged involvement in the distribution of more than three tons of marijuana and more than 30 pounds of cocaine. In addition to the confidential informers, prosecutors built the case using wiretaps the Jamaican authorities had been collecting since 2004, when they started eavesdropping on Mr. Coke’s cellphone conversations and on those of other members of his drug trafficking enterprise, according to a court filing. Mr. Rosen said that some 50,000 conversations had been intercepted in the investigation. Of those, he said, “there was only one in which there was discussion of violence, and I can tell you it wasn’t murder.”” To find additional federal criminal news, please read Federal Crimes Watch Daily.

(Federal Criminal Defense Lawyers) Submitted at 8:33 AM September 1, 2011 The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) on August 31, 2011 released the following: “BIRMINGHAM— A federal grand jury today indicted three women for fraud connected to disaster benefits intended for victims of the April 27 tornadoes in Alabama, including one who falsely claimed she lost her home, her father, and her infant daughter to the storm, announced U.S. Attorney Joyce White Vance; Department of Homeland Security—Office of Inspector General Special Agent in Charge James E. Ward; and FBI Special Agent in Charge Patrick Maley. In separate cases, indictments filed in U.S. District Court charge LIBRA NIKOSHA GREEN, 31, of Birmingham; SABRITA LATRICE GOODWIN, 24, of Bessemer; and EVEGELIN WILSON COLEMAN, 44, of Tuscaloosa, with making false statements to the Federal Emergency Management Agency to obtain or attempt to obtain disaster benefits. “Following the April 27 tornadoes that hit North Alabama, we chose to prosecute even small cases of fraud. Our goal was, and is, to deter as much fraud as possible and to ensure the people who commit crimes that deprive tornado survivors of recovery funds are punished,” Vance said. “The cases indicted today begin those prosecutions. Hopefully, would-be fraudsters have been deterred by our early efforts to discourage the crimes, but these cases serve as further warning to criminals that we will not tolerate disaster-related fraud and will prosecute those who exploit Alabama’s tragedy for their own illegal gain,” Vance said. DHS-OIG places a high priority on investigating federal crimes related to disaster fraud that undermine our disaster programs,” Ward said. “Today’s indictment should send a clear message that we intend to stop these types of fraudulent practices to ensure the integrity of our federal disaster programs and operations.” The public can report fraud, waste, abuse or allegations of mismanagement involving disaster relief operations through the National Disaster Fraud Hotline, toll free, at 1-866-720-5721, or by e-mailing disaster@leo.gov. The telephone line is staffed by a live operator 24 hours a day, seven days a week. In the indictments today, Green is charged with attempting to obtain disaster benefits by falsely claiming to a FEMA representative that she lived in a house on Cherry Avenue in Birmingham that was damaged by the tornado and that her father and infant daughter were killed in the storm. Goodwin is charged with presenting a FEMA inspector a Bessemer Fire Department report that had been altered to falsely claim a May fire which damaged her Bessemer residence resulted from electrical wiring problems caused by the power outage from the April tornadoes. Coleman is charged with obtaining disaster benefits as a result of a false representation, and with making a false statement to FEMA. Coleman told a FEMA representative, and falsely claimed on an application for disaster funds, that her primary residence was on 28th Avenue East in Tuscaloosa, an area devastated by the tornadoes. DHS-OIG and the FBI investigated the cases, which the U.S. Attorney’s Office is prosecuting. Members of the public are reminded that an indictment contains only charges. A defendant is presumed innocent of the charges and it will be the government’s burden to prove a defendant’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt at trial.” To find additional federal criminal news, please read Federal Crimes Watch Daily.
